Severe bug with save file

Has anyone else had issues with there save files? Recently, after performing a save of any kind (quick, normal or exit save) and reloading said save I've been getting teleported back to what I assume is the center of the cell. It's been incredibly annoying and really I don't even want to play the game anymore.

Obvious troubleshooting I've done:

-reboot game

-reboot PC

-verified game files

-reinstalled game (worked for the first quick save then reverted)

-created a new character (worked fine on that character reverted back to my original save and issue kept happening)

Is my original save now cursed?

edit:

Well, I had found an old backup that I made and was able to recover the character, however with a lot of lost progress but better than nothing.

What I think broke my save was setting down the big landing pad with shipbuilder module. After doing this the game started behaving weirdly mixing the cargo from my ship and the outpost. The gas, solid and warehouse cargo also stopped transferring items and lost all fill progress showing a grey led icon.

It might be a reach but after that was when I started seeing the game just lose it.

  • I’m not playing starfield, so I’m unsure of the save file structure. Just some troubleshooting ideas:

    Do you have multiple saves for your original character and all those saves exhibit this behavior? If so, are any of those saves old enough that you know the issue wasn’t occurring already when you made the save? If both are yes, that seems very concerning, indicating that all that character’s saves became corrupted at the same time.

    Does the game only allow you to have one save per character? If that’s the case, also very troubling, since you aren’t able to have saved to fall back on.

    Does the game allow you to make multiple saves, but you’ve been saving over the top of your one save? If so, that sucks. Saves shouldn’t corrupt. in the future (in all games that allow it), keep some older saves in case corruption happens.
